Subsystem ID and usability

Hi,
the subsystem IDs use in the database seems to be a bit inconsistent, a
as udev uses it to construct ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE the results are
often rather confusing to the user [1].
[1] http://bitmynt.no/sturle/screenshot-nm.png
udev creates ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE as follows: "product (subsystem)".
There generally seems to be the following forms used:
1.) Subsystem ID clarifies the product identification. udev does the
right thing here by including both the product and the subsystem
identification:
8c03 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode]
103c 1909 ZBook 15
17aa 220e ThinkPad T440p
2.) The subsystem is already a clarified product name, udev adds redundancy:
08af Centrino Wireless-N 100
8086 1015 Centrino Wireless-N 100 BGN
8086 1017 Centrino Wireless-N 100 BG
3.) There is some overlap between product and subsystem, the product
name is redundant, but not word for word:
0024 AR5418 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5008E 802.11(a)bgn] (PCI-Express)
106b 0087 AirPort Extreme

How to identify class of the device?

Hello,
First of all, I would like to thank you for maintaining pci.ids file.
My question is how to identify the class of the particular device by its
ID or using some additional information?
E.g. how to identify the class of the device with vendorid=1002,
deviceid=6779, subvendor=1043, subdevice=03da (Radeon HD 6450)? I know
that it's 0300 (VGA compatible controller) from lspci output on my PC.
But how can I identify classes for all items in pci.ids file?
Thank you!

Duplicate entry in pci.ids?

Hi,
I'm working on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798375
$ grep '10ec 8168' /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
10ec 8168 TEG-ECTX Gigabit PCI-E Adapter [Trendnet]
10ec 8168 High Definition Audio
I would like to ask:
Is this bug in hwdata data?
Or I interpret
# subvendor subdevice subsystem_name <-- two tabs
incorrectly and the tuple "subvendor subdevice" is not unique? And in
such case what should be correct device if lspci gives me '10ec 8168'?

Re: daily snapshots stopped 2010-04-09?

Hello!
> Seems that the autogenerated snapshots stopped refreshing...
There were no changes recently (at least approved ones), so no new
snapshots have been generated. Today there should be a new one.
Have a nice fortnight

vpdupdate: pci.ids file not found / usb.ids file not found

Hi.
Sorry to bother you again, but I did not realize that I had to subscribe to the list... =(
I'm running Fedora 11, i(3)686, on an amd 4000, nvidia grafics, asrock board.
kernel is 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
(mockbuild@...) (gcc version 4.4.1
20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2) (GCC) ).
debuginfo for pciutils and glibc are installed.
I'm testing USB support for webcams and other devices.
So I need any info available on my devices.
When I do vpdupdate, logfile shows
--snip /log/messages --
Sep 3 11:48:48 lsvpd[5316]: Vpdupdate: Constructing full devices
database
Sep 3 11:48:48 lsvpd[5316]: pci.ids file not found, continuing but
there will be a lot of missing information
Sep 3 11:48:48 lsvpd[5316]: usb.ids file not found, continuing but
there will be a lot of missing information
-- end snip --
Why does vpdupdate not find the files ?
Googling does not help. Lots of info but not on this problem.
FedoraForum: no replies whatsoever.
pci.ids and usb.ids are present, 644, user root.

New web interface for pci.ids

Hello, world!\n
We have finally switched to a new web interface for the PCI ID database,
which should be much more comfortable for both the submitters and the
administrators. It also provides feedback to the submitters and quick
notifications about changes. All items now contain complete history
of changes and an arbitrary number of user comments.
If you spot any bug, please let me know.
Have a nice fortnight
